Poincaré duality algebras originated in the work of topologists on the cohomology of closed manifolds, and Macaulay's dual systems in the study of irreducible ideals in polynomial algebras. These two ideas are tied together using basic commutative algebra involving Gorenstein algebras. Steenrod operations also originated in algebraic topology, but may best be viewed as a means of encoding the information often hidden behind the Frobenius map in characteristic p0. They provide a noncommutative tool to study commutative algebras over a Galois field. In this Tract the authors skilfully bring together these ideas and apply them to problems in invariant theory. A number of remarkable and unexpected interdisciplinary connections are revealed that will interest researchers in the areas of commutative algebra, invariant theory or algebraic topology.

From the author of Johnnie and Me and Embracing the Journey of Recovery—a bold fiction debut. In the year 2084, a single drug promises freedom from addiction—but at the cost of choice, memory, and even the soul. The Compulsory Addiction Recovery Enforcement (CARE) Act leaves no room for alternatives. Superior Rx’s “miracle” drug, Neuroxone, dominates treatment—its long-term dangers hidden from the public. Abstinence-based recovery has been erased from the map. At the center of this machine is Ashcroft Stanton, CEO of Superior Rx, ruling with calculated precision. Rachel, once his most loyal enforcer, begins to question her orders as the human cost becomes impossible to ignore. Three unlikely allies—a journalist tied to AA’s legacy, a grieving physician turned whistleblower, and a scientist whose conscience outweighs his career—must stop Stanton before recovery is erased. Comply. Fight. Or vanish … like so many before them. If they fail, the truth dies with them.

Can booze really talk to you? Many people suffering from addiction can hear their drug or drink of choice calling to them—and they feel compelled to listen.For thirty years of his life, Dr. Larry Smith was in an unhealthy and shackling master-slave relationship with Johnnie—a jealous lover who insisted that the relationship be kept a secret. Who was Johnnie? Johnnie was the voice within Larry, guiding him from deep within throughout his addiction.In Johnnie and Me, alcoholism and addiction are presented from a unique perspective. Dr. Smith’s misadventures, near-death experiences, and dramatic recovery are written in chilling and exquisite detail. His message is clear: recovery is possible for anybody suffering from addiction if they take responsibility for their past actions and wholeheartedly commit to the recovery process.

I don�t wish to give too much away, this book is your ticket. It�s your turn now to ride this glass-bottom boat across a new lake. You will hear music and see the wind smooth the waves as underwater blurs become crystal clear.

Larry Smith has published fiction, poetry, and a variety of nonfiction in literary journals throughout the world. His 2016 novella Patrick Fitzmike and Mike Fitzpatrick (Outlook 19) traverses the political, sexual, and spiritual terrain of the modern Catholic Church. A former business journalist with thousands of bylines, and retired executive of a public relations and crisis management firm, Smith grew up in Cleveland and migrated to New York in the late 1960s. His story collection Floodlands is also published by Adelaide Books (2019). He is currently compiling a third collection of stories called High and Dry as well as a collection of hybrid nonfiction entitled Nicole Simpson: The Untold Story.

The Spirit sent me these articles over a period of eight years or so. I did not sit down with intention of generating these thoughts or considerations. As I read over them after so many years, I can easily admit, it's as though someone else wrote them. I sincerely hope at least one or two inspire you in some way to pursue a relationship with Jesus, with God, if you have not already done so. And for those who have, perhaps they will recharge your batteries and stoke your fires. Remember what your first encounter with God was like and how you couldn't tell enough folks about it? Time to rediscover that space.

This book combines fiction and fact in telling the story of a Chinese immigrant to America around 2008. It reads like a novel yet is poetry. "Tu Fu left his world. In Larry Smith�s fine narrative, he reappears in present day Cleveland. We see America through his eyes, through his contemplative heart. Hope, loss, friendship, love, the old quarrel with the world. Travel with him. Open your chest. Learn." �MAJ RAGAIN, author of Twist the Axe

In this new expanded edition, here are poems as dramatic projections of the character and spirit of American author and naturalist, Henry David Thoreau. In Smith's poems we get inside the mind and heart of Thoreau and see his life as his greatest work of art. One gains a deeper appreciation of Thoreau as person and as an enlightened spirit of America.

This is a book of a man's real life story of pain, his fall, his forgiveness, his restoration, and his redemption.
